I will never vote for an anti-transgender Democrat like Josh Turek and you should not either. I'll probably be writing my case to abstain from a handful of races like his on Monday. Josh Turek is showing the exact slippery slope I've called out, in real time.

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

Eh, why not? 1. Red Box (the lesser, newer version Rob mentions) 2. AD&D 3. Star Frontiers 4. Gamma World 3rd Edition 5. Robotech from Paladium I think that's right, it was quite a while ago... and there were a number of things I owned but didn't actually "play" with anyone like MERP, Elf Quest...

My first 5 ttrpgs in the order they were played. 1. Red Box D&D 2. James Bond 3. AD&D 4. Homemade Murder Mystery LARP 5. Rolemaster (I think, trying to sort out the timing is a bit tangled)

“Sauve qui peut”. This is a French phrase that translates literally to something like "save yourself who's able/can" and roughly equates to “run for your life!” or “every man for himself!”, indicating a chaotic or dangerous situation/stampede. Postcard from my collection, no date/info.

Public dollars should go toward building up our communities. I'm proud to present $850,000 in federal funding for West Mifflin’s new community recreation and wellness center. West Mifflin residents deserve a space where kids can grow, and families can come together—right in their own backyards.

back in the olden days DOJ would investigate a particular crime it believed had been committed, rather than just poking around to see if anything was wrong

Trump has attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar for years. He is vindictive, hateful, and abusive of power. This baseless raid was meant to intimidate and silence her and the communities she represents. Rep. Omar continues to stand on the right side of history and we’re right there with her.

Official announcement that I'll be moving soon and I need moving funds!! I'll also close my shop in a week for an indeterminate amount of time to focus on the move, so if you wanted something for the holidays you might want to get it now. Shop: anaisfae.art/shop Tips: ko-fi.com/anaisfae Thanks!

It was wonderful to join the Homeless Children’s Education Fund to kick off Homeless Children’s Awareness Month. Children deserve to focus on being kids, not worrying about where they'll sleep that night. HCEF is working to ensure every child has that stability. I'm proud to support their mission.

Every time I see a picture/ad for Digger I keep thinking "That's Dennis Quaid" and am then reminded that no, it's Tom Cruise in makeup.
